Money is the creation of the rich and powerful. Always has been, and they will protect it at all costs. However they still have to 'sow' it in order 'reap' more. This is their weakness.
The individual can profit by the system by using it's own strategies. For example if you don't buy that new smartphone you increase your wealth, and decrease Apple's wealth, if only by one sale. The rich are wealthy because ordinary people keep buying their stuff.
.
Then I am the richest person alive because I haven't bought anything except what I absolutely need.
I have increased my wealth by not having a smart Phone, Cable TV, a Credit Card, or any other of the myriad of things society believes then need in order to be happy.
I left work in 1996, I officially retired in 2007 today I am better off financially than any year I was working.
I buy what I need, I live within a budget, put money in the bank, which I could never do when I was working, I pay ahead on everything I can like Car Insurance, I can now take advantage of things like that which I was never able to do before.
The key to a prosperous life is.
Mat. 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
I do not take thought for tomorrow, when tomorrow comes with whatever evil it may have I take care of it with what God has already Blessed me with.
No man is richer than I, my Father has blessed me.
